The Loire valley and Central France area
The Loire valley area covers most of central western France between the southern limits of Brittany and Normandy to the north, and the northen slopes of the Massif Central hills to the south. It is a region of fields and slow flowing rivers, a profoundly agricultural area which includes some considerable expanses of forest in the Sologne, a number of areas of vineyards - notably the vineyards Touraine and Sancerre - and a large area of lakes and wetlands known as la Brenne, a noted area for bird life. It is of course also an area renowned for its historic heritage most visible in the form of its many fabulous châteaux and mediaeval fortresses, such as Chenonceau (photo).
